Great read man, really helps me out seeing i am releasing an alpha, but its more like a beta to get rid of those problems of feeling incomplete. Glad i am not the only person in the world who feels this way!

Yeah there will be specific moments in certain quests where answering the questions as a simple yes or no will affect how the game ends. (example: Do you want to go hunting for the last stone: Yes (Go hunting quest) No (You stumble on a bonus quest.)

In other words, every desicion you make in the game has a consequence, so being nice will generally get you the better quests and loot, but being horrible or calculating can pay off just as well, so be wise with your choices!

Yeah Painting the game is a rather fun thing to do, it certainly beats most types of game development i have done in the past.
thank you for taking your time to read my article, always much apreciated :)
